This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the effects of cable inclination angle and longitudinal wind on the flame spread behaviors of cables in utility tunnels. The results show that both flame length and pyrolysis length increase with sin theta and longitudinal wind speed. The increasing inclination angle and wind speed contribute to the increasing flame spread rates. The establishment of a model based on heat transfer analysis helps in predicting the flame propagation rate under different cable inclination angles.
Tables in utility tunnels pose a major fire hazard. This work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effects of cable inclination angle and longitudinal wind (U infinity) on the flame spread behaviors of cables in a utility tunnel. Flame inclination angle (beta) increases with the increase of cable inclination angle and longitudinal wind speed, while the amplification decreases as the longitudinal wind speed increases. Both flame length (xf) and pyrolysis length (xp) increase linearly with sin theta when U infinity is smaller than 0.65 m/s and they also increase with the increase of longitudinal wind speed. The increasing inclination angle and longitudinal wind speed contribute to the increasing flame spread rates. The flame spread rate accelerates significantly when the lon-gitudinal wind speed and inclination angle are 0.65 m/s and 12 degrees respectively. In addition, a model based on heat transfer analysis was established to predict the flame propagation rate under different cable inclination angles, and the experimental results were in good agreement with the predicted results. The results of the study contribute to cable fire risk assessment, which is beneficial for cable fire prevention and control in utility tunnels.
